TOY STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,509, dated December 6, 1881.

Application filed November 2, 1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIAS DURLAoH, of Brooklyn, E. D., Kings county, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toy Stoves, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the body of the stove. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bottom plate of the stove. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the top plate of the stove, and Fig. at is a sectional side elevation of the stove.

The object of this invention is to economize time and labor in theconstruction of toy stoves, and thus lessen the cost of manufacturing the said stoves.

The invention consists in a toy stove constructed with a body having points upon its upper and lower edges, and the bottom and top plates having slits to receive the said points and allow them to be bent down or clinched upon the said plates, whereby the stove can be easily, quickly, and cheaply made, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the body of the stove, which is made of a strip or strips of sheet metal, of suitable length and width, and which is bent four times at right angles in such a manner that the ends of the said stripwill overlap each other at the rear end of the stove. The lower part of the forward end of the body Ais cut away, as shown in Fig. 1, to represent a doorway.

Upon the upper and lower edges of the ends of the strip of sheet metal that forms the body of the stove are formed points B, and upon the upper and lower edges of the said strip, at the end parts of the forward end of the stove-body, are formed points B.

(No model.)

In the bottom and top plates, 0 D, in such positions as to correspond with the points B of the body A, are formed slits E to receive the said points B.

The parts of the stove are put together by inserting the points B of the body A in the slits E of the plates 0 D, and the said parts are fastened together by bending down or clinching the projecting ends of the said points B by a blow with a hammer, or by means of any other suitable tool.

With thisconslruction all soldering is avoided and the stoves are made in less time, with less labor, and consequently at less cost than when made in the ordinary manner. Another advantage of this construction is that there is no solder to be melted and allow the stove to come in pieces should fire be placed in the stove, as is the case with toy stoves constructed in the ordinary manner.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A toy stove constructed substantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of the body having points upon its upper and lower edges, and the bottom and top plates having slits to receive the said points and allow them to be bent down or clinched upon the said plates, as set forth.

2. In a toy stove, the combination, with the bodyA, having points B on its upper and lower edges, of the bottom and top plates, 0 D, having slits E to receive the said points and allow them to be bent down or clinched upon the said plates, whereby the stove can be easily, quickly, and cheaply made, as set forth.
